Who uses EthicalHub
If an auditor can ask for it, you need to have it.
Council inspections. Retailer programs. Certification audits. One platform keeps you ready for all of them.
🏭
Food manufacturers
Processors, packagers and producers running a documented HACCP plan, prerequisite programs and supplier approvals — structured to meet Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and GFSI certification requirements.
🍽️
Restaurants & catering
High-volume kitchens and event caterers running FSANZ 3.2.2 food safety programs. Daily logs, allergen controls and cleaning records that hold up to a council inspection — logged on the floor, not written up after.
🏥
Hospitals & aged care
Healthcare food services where a missed CCP record isn't just a non-conformance — it's a patient risk. Temperature control, allergen management and dietary compliance documentation, audit-ready at all times.
How EthicalHub works
Your day on the floor.
Already logged.
No new process — EthicalHub fits the work you already do. Staff log checks as they happen. When council, a retailer, or a certifier asks for evidence, you pull it in 60 seconds.
01
Food arrives
Check the delivery, record temperature, and confirm supplier paperwork before anything goes into storage or production.
e.g. Chilled goods at 3°C · COA on file
02
You cook or produce
Log critical checks as you go — cook temps, cooling, batch details — so the record matches what actually happened on the floor.
e.g. Core cook 74°C · Batch A-2417
03
You store & hold
Fridge, freezer, and coolroom checks stay on schedule. Anything out of range is flagged before it becomes an audit finding.
e.g. Coolroom ≤5°C · daily check done
04
You clean & sign off
Sanitation, pest control, training, and equipment calibration — the daily and periodic checks auditors always ask for.
e.g. Pre-open clean · signed by M. Pham
05
Auditor asks — you show
One click builds a timestamped audit pack: temperatures, cleaning logs, supplier certs, and corrective actions — ready to hand over.

Getting started
Live in under an hour.
No IT project. No setup fees.
1
Import your Food Safety Program
Upload your existing FSP, supplier list and certificates. EthicalHub maps them to the right PRP structure automatically.
2
Configure your CCPs and PRPs
FSANZ 3.2.1 structure is pre-built — you set monitoring frequencies and critical limits, not templates from scratch.
3
Log on the floor, in real time
Temperature checks, cleaning sign-offs and delivery records logged on any device as they happen — not written up hours later.
4
Export when the auditor arrives
One click compiles a timestamped audit pack — HACCP records, PRP logs, corrective actions, supplier certs — ready to hand over.
The problem
Where compliance actually breaks down
Not from ignorance of HACCP principles — from documentation that can't keep pace with a busy production floor.
PRP and CCP records live in binders and spreadsheets
Sanitation sign-offs, temperature checks and cleaning schedules get filed where no auditor — or you — can quickly find them.
Supplier certificates expire without warning
HACCP certs, insurance and allergen declarations tracked manually across suppliers mean expiries surface mid-audit, not before.
Corrective actions get logged after the fact
A deviation happens on the floor, but the record gets written up hours later from memory — if it gets written up at all.
Stepping up to GFSI-recognised certification means starting over
Most platforms are built for one scheme. Moving to SQF, FSSC 22000 or BRCGS as a retailer demands it usually means re-platforming and a consultant.

✓Gets you live in under an hour, importing your existing documents
✓Ethics and sustainability documentation built in alongside your food safety records

Pricing
Cheaper than one failed audit.
A single BRCGS non-conformance can cost thousands in remediation and re-audit fees. EthicalHub starts at $69/month — less than most sites spend on cleaning chemicals.

How we compare
The right tool depends on
what you actually make.
The compliance software market splits into three tiers. Understanding which tier you belong in saves you from paying for enterprise complexity you don't need — or settling for a hospitality tool that doesn't understand manufacturing.
Tier 1 — Australian Food Businesses (EthicalHub)
Tier 2 — General Inspection & Hospitality
Tier 3 — Enterprise Plant Systems

EthicalHub vs SafetyCulture
SafetyCulture is a powerful general inspection tool — but you build food safety templates yourself. EthicalHub ships with all 18 PRPs and HACCP tracking already structured, priced flat per site (not per user), and adds ethics documentation SafetyCulture doesn't offer.
EthicalHub vs Squizify
Squizify is excellent for restaurants and retail — it focuses on FSANZ 3.2.2A food service. EthicalHub covers 3.2.1 manufacturers (batching, raw materials, calibration, GFSI standards) and extends to ethics and sustainability documentation no competitor offers.
EthicalHub vs Enterprise
SafetyChain and Safefood 360° are built for large plants at $1,000+/month. EthicalHub closes the SME gap — manufacturer-grade compliance and ethics documentation without the enterprise price tag or 3-month implementation project.
Competitor capabilities based on publicly available product pages and independent market analysis. Accurate as of September 2026.
Start your free trial — no credit card required →The EthicalHub difference
Compliance is the floor.
Ethics is the ceiling.
Every other compliance platform stops at the audit. EthicalHub goes further — making your ethical supply chain visible, traceable and provable. Because the name means something.
🌿
Sustainable supply chain
Capture supplier environmental declarations, certifications, and ingredient provenance at the batch level — not just for food safety, but for ethical sourcing programs and retailer requirements.
🚫
Modern slavery compliance
Under Australia's Modern Slavery Act, large purchasers must report on supply chain risks. Victorian Government contracts and major retailer programs are extending this to their food suppliers.
⚖️
Worker welfare records
Staff training registers, induction acknowledgements, and hygiene policy sign-offs — the documentation that shows your people are treated fairly, connected to your food safety records.
🔍
Full traceability — ingredient to shelf
Trace any batch from raw ingredient receipt through production, packing, cold chain, and despatch. One-click recall simulation. Retailer-ready traceability report in under a minute.
🤝
Ethical supplier management
Every supplier carries risk — HACCP certs, allergen declarations, insurance, labour practices. EthicalHub tracks all of it in one vault with expiry alerts and a full approval audit trail.
📊
Ethics & impact reporting
Generate a consolidated impact report — food safety compliance score, supplier ethical declarations, traceability coverage, and modern slavery risk status. One document, ready for your retailer or your board.

Common questions
Common questions
Most businesses are live within an hour. You import your existing Food Safety Program documents and supplier list, and EthicalHub structures them automatically. There's no consultant required and no IT project — just a guided setup that walks you through each section.
No. EthicalHub is pre-structured around FSANZ 3.2.1 and all 18 prerequisite programs are built in from day one. You don't need to create templates, design checklists, or hire a consultant to configure anything. You bring your existing documents; we provide the structure.
It's built for both. Floor staff log temperature checks, cleaning sign-offs, and delivery records in seconds on any device. QA managers and owners see the compliance dashboard, get alerts, and export audit packs. All plans include unlimited staff logins at no extra cost per person.
One click exports a complete, timestamped audit pack — HACCP records, PRP logs, corrective actions, supplier certificates, calibration records, and delivery logs — compiled and formatted for your certification body or retail program. Coles CSR-F and Woolworths WSE formats are built in on Professional and Enterprise plans.
SafetyCulture is a general inspection tool — powerful, but it requires you to build food-specific templates yourself and doesn't understand FSANZ 3.2.1, PRP structures, or retailer audit programs natively. EthicalHub ships with all 18 PRPs already configured, adds ethics and sustainability documentation SafetyCulture doesn't offer, and prices flat per site rather than per user.
Yes. Any food business with a compliance obligation — restaurants, catering companies, hospitals, aged care facilities, and food manufacturers — can use EthicalHub. The Starter plan is designed for single-site operations like a kitchen or café. The platform scales up through Professional and Enterprise for multi-site or larger operations.
EthicalHub captures supplier ethical sourcing declarations, modern slavery risk documentation, worker welfare records, and ingredient provenance at the batch level. On Professional and Enterprise plans you can generate a consolidated ethics and impact report — food safety compliance, supplier ethics, traceability, and modern slavery risk status in one document. No other food compliance platform in Australia offers this.
